Illinois announces driver's license, ID card expiration date extension

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced Friday that expiration dates for driver's licenses, ID cards and learner's permits are being extended.

They said the previous extension was set to end on July 31. As a result, expired driver's licenses, ID cards and learner's permits will remain valid until December 1, so customers do not need to rush into Driver Services facilities. However, the extension does not apply to commercial driver's licenses and CDL learner's permits.

Customers who must visit a facility include first-time driver's license or ID card applicants, first-time REAL ID applicants and drivers ages 75 and older who are required by state law to visit a facility when renewing their license.
